Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme was:
Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing This Year
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Throne of Glass / The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas
A physical UK edition of The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion (I have an e-ARC that I’m currently reading. I already know I’ll want a physical copy and I hate the US covers. I have a UK copy of The Rosie Project, so I need a UK The Rosie Effect to match)
Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater (ditto needing a physical copy of this one)
Lailah by Nikki Kelly
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Deborah Moggach
Fangirl and/or Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Saga Deluxe Edition, volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan, illustrated by Fiona Staples
Winger by Andrew Smith
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
I could go on and on with a list of books I’d like, but these are the first ten that came to mind. Only two of them were actually on my Christmas wishlist. What books would you like to see under the tree?
Caught Read Handed 
I would love to do a re-read of The Scorpio Races. I love it that freaking much! I hope you got some good books this Christmas!
I hope you did too! I got The Scorpio Races for Christmas! I’m really looking forward to reading it. Want to do a buddy read? You can reread and I can read it for the first time. It’d be interesting to see what we both thought. 🙂
OMG The Rosie Effect!!!! I have been WAITING FOR THIS for a long time, and I just realized that the audio cds do not get published until JULY!!!!!!!!!! I may have to just buy it on audible before then! I cannot wait that long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for stoppin’ by! Hope you had a happy holiday season, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I’ll be reviewing The Rosie Effect on my blog tomorrow if you’re interested. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my blog as well! Happy New Year!
I’m really interested to read your thoughts on Throne of Glass! I get what you mean about wanting the British covers of certain books…sometimes I cannot STAND the US covers and end up coveting all the bloggers with the UK covers.
I’ll be reading it soon! Rachel from Confessions of a Book Geek and I are doing a book swap. I’m getting her Throne of Glass books!
Fangirl is really cute, I agree. And so far, Stiefvater hasn’t let me down–and I especially like Scorpio Races, because something about killer horses really appeals to me. (I was horse crazy as a kid, but I never wanted a pony. I wanted a deadly unicorn, or a battle pegasus.)
I’m so looking forward to The Scorpio Races. I’ve heard it’s her best book, and it’s hard to believe anything could be better than the Raven Cycle books.
Fangirl and Shatter Me are two of my favorites … especially Fangirl. I loved that one so much.
I’m definitely looking forward to checking those out! Thanks for stopping by, Alison.
I absolutely loved The Assassin’s Blade (and the rest of the Throne of Glass series) and Fangirl! I’ve also heard wonderful things about Winger. Happy reading! 🙂
I loved The Rosie Project and I recently won The Rosie Effect in a giveaway so I will be reading that soon – I hope you enjoy it! I really want to start the Throne of Glass series, and even though I didn’t particularly enjoy Eleanor and Park, I still want to give Rainbow Rowell’s other novels a go and I think Fangirl will be next!
Merry Christmas 😀 I hope you find some of these books under your tree!
(P.s — Great blog, I’ve just followed via Bloglovin)
I’m loving The Rosie Effect so far. I hope that you enjoy it too! I’ve only read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, which I really liked. I want to try one of her YA novels.
I hope you have a merry Christmas too. Aw!! Thank you!
There are so many books I’m lusting after at the moment! Ha ha!
I’ve got a lot of Jennifer L Armentrout (and J Lynn) on my wish list, as well as some K A Tucker and Anne Rice.
I tried to read The Best Exotic Marigold.. but I just didin’t get on with it.. I think it’s one of the rare cases where the film might be better :O
Ssshh.. don’t tell anyone I said that..
Merry Xmas! 🙂
You know, that’s one of the reasons I haven’t read The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – I’ve read several reviews of people who’ve said they liked the movie better. :O
I hope you get some awesome books on Thursday!
Great picks! My signed copies of Maas arrived today, so expect some UK mail some time soon (but probably after the crimbo rush!) – so you’ll get at least one of these for crimbo! 😀 I’m about to start a Shatter Me buddy read, really looking forward to that one, and of course I’ll definitely need to add Sinner to my TWOMF trilogy! I hope you get lots of lovely bookish stuff this year! R x
My TTT: https://confessionsofabookgeek.wordpress.com/2014/12/23/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-xmas-wishlist/
Wooooo! I’m so pumped. Did you see my comment on your TTT? Would you like to get the Raven Cycle books in exchange for the Maas books?
I spotted the comment – need to reply to them all tomorrow. I lol’d at the “I need you to read” them bit!! Sounds like a plan to me!! I’m excited for this – need to get my creative juices flowing for it!! 😀 R x
Woooo! Okay. I’ll figure it out tomorrow. 🙂
Nice list!! Fangirl also mad my list this week. I hope you receive all the books on your list!! Here’s my TTT list for the week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2014/12/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-books-i-wouldnt.html
Happy holidays!!
Thank you! I hope you do too!
I agree, I always neeed to own a ‘real’ copy of a great book! The only one of these I’ve read is Sinner, but I just got Shatter me and my Throne of Glass reading is way overdue.
I also like to buy a copy of a book if I’ve checked it out from the library and know I will reread it. I need to buy The Young Elites for this very reason.
I LOVE Fangirl and Throne of Glass! I hope you get those soon! I also really want Shatter Me, I need this first book to start reading the trilogy 😀
I’ve got to get Throne of Glass. For sure. Shatter Me sounds super awesome and everyone seems to like it. Thanks for stopping by!
I really enjoyed Lailah! I just got Fangirl from my secret santa and i was so excited !!! Happy Holidays
Yay! Secret Santa is the best invention. 🙂 I’m looking forward to checking out Lailah! Hope you enjoy Fangirl.
I almost think they’ve made a movie of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It sounds so familiar.
My TT this week is from Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse #4). http://wp.me/pZnGI-gD
They have! That’s why I want to read it. I loved the movie. 🙂
